Naw, it's side material they may grab stuff from for the games and is canon in the. The manga is the official prequal for DMC3. It is not a random story with no ties to the game.

"it overall happened, not necessary in the way depicted" fashion that Hideo Kojima applies to the first two Metal Gear games. You can believe that but until capcom says that is how it works it isnt.

This isn't the sort of series where there's any strict oversight for side material. That's why they had no problems totally redesigning Morrison from the anime (canon in the same way) when he appeared in DMC 5. The anime is and always was as canon as the games. Kobayashi, producer for DMC4 worked on the anime and directly stated that it took place after DMC1. There were a bunch of redisigns in DMC5. Morisson being black is a retcon. DMC has had quite a few of those and until told otherwise, canon entries happened as they are depicted and are equally valid as the games.
